Poop Goes The Weasel

Peter Alsop‘s SONGS TO CHEW

Our SONG TO CHEW this week is POOP GOES THE WEASEL. I wrote it to help parents engage their little kids in the process of getting toilet trained. When I perform this song live, I use a weasel or otter hand puppet to demonstrate as we sing together. Laughing at poop and fart jokes and anything to do with the toilet seems to appeal much more to guys than to girls. We probably think they're funny because we're not supposed to talk about this stuff, but it's mostly grown-ups who made up that rule! Adults are embarrassed and uncomfortable around this subject, but kids seem to love it! Even if little girls think farting is funny, they almost always grow out of it, but boys still think it's a riot even when we get to be old men!! I know this song has had an impact in the world. Lots of parents report that this is their kid's favorite song! I got a cel phone call from an upset Mom in Florida, who called to complain that she had her son and his friend in the car on the way to pre-school, when "Poop Goes The Weasel" came on the radio. The boys laughed so hard that her son wet his pants in the backseat! She had to take them home to get dry clothing, before taking them back to school. She suggested I put a warning on the album to let parents know that this kind of thing may happen in their family too!!
